Kelsea Ballerini is having a 'Carrie Bradshaw moment'

Kelsea Ballerini is having a "Carrie Bradshaw moment" in New York City.

The 32-year-old country singer - who split from actor Chase Stokes earlier this year - is currently living in New York City, and Kelsea has revealed that she's loving life in the Big Apple.

The blonde beauty told Us Weekly: "I’ve always wanted to have a little New York moment.

"I’ve always romanticised that, and I never knew if music would bring me up there or some part of my job, but … after putting out [my album] Patterns and then the Mount Pleasant EP, I was like, ‘OK, I’m gonna just step away for a second. I need a shift.'"

Kelsea observed that she's in the midst of her "Carrie Bradshaw moment", in reference to Sarah Jessica Parker's Sex and the City character.

She explained: "I have a stoop! I sit out on it every night. Glass of wine, and I’m just people watching with my little podcast. It’s so nice."

Although Kelsea isn't putting down permanent roots in New York City, she's learned some valuable life lessons over recent weeks.

She said: "I think it’s reminding me to stay really open in life, that you never know when you can make a new friend, and you never know when you can reconnect to your independence, and what that can look like in different seasons. And I think I’m still on my journey to find the best dirty martini in the city, so I have two months left to find it."

Kelsea is also pleased that she's taken herself outside of her comfort zone.

The Half of My Hometown hitmaker shared: "I’ve been in Nashville since I was 15, and so all my friends are here, my family is here in Knoxville, so this is the first time that I’ve kind of done something truly on my own, and it feels exciting."

Meanwhile, Kelsea previously claimed that she's learned to accept the highs and lows of life.

The singer told People: "It’s impossible to do it all 'right' and make everyone happy. So, I’m just taking it day by day and keeping a solid pulse on if I’m being authentic in my own little journey of happiness and growth."
